You say you cannot believe in things unmeasurable, and yet you do, without beginning or end?

Question

God claims to have no beginning or ending.
You say that is impossible, but I submit to you, that you measure your days every day with time.
Time has no end, unless you relate it to something.
Moments elapse prior to existence and forever after.
When did time begin? If you say with the big bang, how long was it before the big bang. We invented the term "time" but moments have always elapsed, it has always been there, and it always will be there. If the earth ends---time goes on, moments still pass. They never really began but always have been. God is not a man, But God is a consciousness.
Consider this--if God is a universal consciousness--why couldn't He--like time---have always existed and always exist.
Is there a place where time is not passing? In any galaxy--that would explain omnipresence--God can be everywhere just like moments elapse everywhere. Food for thought, what do you think??? What direction does time move?

Answer 1

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT else could possibly be said HERE other than......AMEN!~ That is perfect. GOD surpasses time, HE is ETERNAL. I loved this question. Well put indeed!

Answer 2

sure anything is possible if don't think about it any more then that ........???????but you don't come close to convincing me my friend and as far as I'm concern putting the horse before the carraige god doesn't claim anything if he doesnt exist what you call god's claims are merely man's claims substituted under the table in the form of deceit Time is measured as time a dimension no less god is not and god is not consciousness either for when the brain dies so does consciousness .and the speculative nature of the big bang is premature and could be only a transition in a larger cycle of the birth and death of the universe as we think of it as matter and energy are more that likely timeless or eternal for they can never be created nor destroyed .simply omit the fairy tale of god and you will see how little you know of what science has established and that is less as well. you should read physics not religion for this is where the nature of the universe is really considered without excepting day dreams as reality but utilizing proofs like the ones that make your television possible try and sell a tv invented by the imaginary god it will never happen .... poof look god just created a tv out of nothing or did he have to use some previously created dust nonetheless I hope you get the point the two don't mix .and the facts will shatter the dreams everytime.so what do you choose is it factual reality or the stuff of dreams and imagination;they are different venues even in YAs.

Answer 3

The mystery of time revealed

Daniel 8:13 is written 200300 days divided by 360 days = 556 years, 4 months, and 19 days or April 19, 33 AD
Daniel 12:11 is written 100290 days divided by 360 days = 278 years, 7 months
Daniel 12:12 is written 1003530 days divided by 360 days = 2787 years, 7 months

Jesus seventy times seven
Seventy = seventy generations 70 x 40 = 2800
Seven = seven other spirits more wicked then you
2800 AD is the Final Judgment and it is Just.

A TIME = 21,6 Billion years
TIMES = 1,960 years (2 each)
A HALF TIME = 980 years

1960 + 980 = 2940, Year of the Blessed 2800 AD

7 Ages, 7 Seasons, 7 Little Seasons
Each have 6 days of labor, 1 day of rest

Life
20, 40, 400, 4,000, 40,000, 400,000, 4,000,000

The Earth and the Universe
40,000,000, 400,000,000

The 10th President of the U.S. shall fall to Gog and Magog
The 10th President of the U.S. shall take office in January 2009

Answer 4

The great Catholic thinker, philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas summarized his cosmological argument in the Summa Theologia. In this theological masterpiece, St. Thomas writes five "ways" that we can know God exists. His first three ways deal with the cosmological argument:

St. Aquinas argues that there are things in the world in motion (this simply means that things are changing) and that whatever is in motion must have been put in motion by another thing in motion. Aquinas holds that, "whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another," and that, "this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover." Hence St. Thomas argues that in order to eliminate the infinite chain of motions, there must be a first mover and source of all motion, God.
The second way is very similar to the first. It argues that," In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible." By this he means that any thing, circumstance or event cannot change itself, but can only change something else (concept of efficient cause). Since there is a string of causes in which the string cannot be infinite (see premise #1), then all causes must attribute themselves to a first cause: God.
The third way also argues using the notion of a chain of causes. St. Thomas notes that things in our world owe their existence to something else in the world. Aquinas calls this the way of "possibility and necessity," meaning that all things made possible, necessarily attribute their existence to some pre-existing thing. Only God can be the source of all things since he is a being having its own necessity and does not need a pre-existing thing to cause him to exist. All things existing can trace themselves in a chain back to God.
A second shorter version of the cosmological argument can be formulated as:

Every being (that exists or ever did exist) is either a dependent being or a self-existent being.
Not every being can be a dependent being.
So there exists a self-existent being.
Finally, a third rendition of the cosmological argument (extracted from the book Philosophy for Dummies by Dr. Tom Morris):

1. The existence of something is intelligible only if it has an explanation.
2. The existence of the universe is thus either:
a. unintelligible or
b. has an explanation
3. No rational person should accept premise (2a) by definition of rationality
4. A rational person should accept (2b), that the universe has some explanation for its being.
5. There are only three kinds of explanations:
a. Scientific: physical conditions plus relevant laws yield the Event explained.
b. Personal: Explanations that cite desires, beliefs, powers and intentions of some personal agent.
c. Essential: The essence of the thing to be explained necessitates its existence or qualities (for example, if you ask why a triangle has 3 sides, I would respond that it is the essence and necessity for a triangle to have 3 sides by its definition.
6. The explanation for the existence of the whole universe can’t be scientific because there can’t be initial physical conditions and laws independent of what is to be explained. Event the Big Bang theory fails to explain the existence of the universe because modern science cannot explain where the original Big Bang singularity came from. The universe as a sum total of all natural conditions and laws cannot be explained unless we have an Archimidean reference point outside the system.
7. The explanation for the existence of the universe can’t be essential because the universe cannot exist necessarily. This is because, it could have been possible for the universe not to have existed (if the Big Bang had been slightly different it is possible for large-scale structures to not have existed). Thus the universe is not something the must necessarily or essentially exists.
8. Thus a rational person should believe that the universe has a personal explanation.
9. No personal agent but God could create the entire universe.
10. A rational person should believe that there is a God.

Answer 5

There are various flaws in your piece. There was no such thing as time before the big bang -- it created time as well as space. Much of it is an analogy, with the usual flaws to which analogies are subject. It is not possible to prove either that god exists, or does not exist. The real issue is this: is it of some use to believe in a god of some kind? It can be proven that the answer is NO. So why bother?

Answer 6

I find it odd that intelligent people can believe scientific explanations, but refuse to believe God's word, which clearly states how all was created.

Science is simply man trying to find out how things work. Science cannot measure against something. For instance, how can science say a fossil is this old or that old, when they have nothing to measure it against?

Proof is there, and God is there. Science is man made!

Answer 7

Time is just a theory invented by humans.

If time is money why are unemployed people usually poor.

Time goes in circles, that is why clock faces are round.

Answer 8

Time is only a concept of man When man ceases to be Time as well ceases to exist
Same applies to god

Answer 9

I think I just lost 20 seconds of time.

Answer 10

Uhmmm.... ok.
